Another busy day for me with the girlfriend :D well I say it was busy we were mainly just chilling out at mine but still great fun.Here's a picture I took on my walk home after walking her home this evening, pretty much every day I will walk this Hill, usually up and down in that day, its not a massive hill and from the picture you can't really tell but it can be tiring to walk on especially when your already tired from a long day, Dunno why but I decided that it was a nice picture and so I thought I'd post it here! (I know its bad quality was walking at the time and used my blackberry to take it but the sky still looks nice haha)

Anyway my walk home was extended today by about an extra 40 minutes as my girlfriends brother had forgotten some of his stuff before he left and me being the ever so lovely boyfriend offered to take it to him as he was at some friends of his in my town so I could meet him somewhere on my way back, was kinda chilly and had to wait around for him but got it done and hopefully it will help me stay in the good books of my girlfriends mom :)

Saw the trailer to the new Conan The Barbarian movie! :O Wow, it looks pretty awesome I must say and for those who were nerdy enough to watch Stargate Atlantis would recognise the actor playing Conan as the same guy who played Ronan Dex.

Very quick post, back from Skegness (yes weird name don't know why haha) had a great weekend with the girlfriend wandering around the beach, some arcades and the usual stuff you do at the beach :D
Couldn't get and pictures as phone was too low battery sorry, weather was pretty good for England in the summer, has mainly sun and wind but was really nice.

Might be a few days till I can get things rolling with stuff for the blog again, still busy, very tired and just don't have a great amount of time.
Trying to think of something to talk about to fill this up a little bit but have no real ideas my brain has kinda melted, if I didn't go back and change all the typo's in this where I get one letter before the one before it like this: weher it would take 20 minutes to translate haha.

Been a few days since I posted a Daily, as always been really busy but still managed to get Minecraft Monday posted and the new HSG Competition up and running, Hopefully you have checked it out, I admit I probably didn't choose the best game for this but it was the first one that came to mind when I needed a game I could embed. Maybe I'll have a better one next month sorry if you don't like the game.
Having caught up with all of Yogscast Minecraft videos I was forced to look for more things to watch and again StarCraft 2 has taken my eye, watching Total Biscuit play and cast many different matches is quite fun :D

Looking forward to the coming Weekend it should be really awesome, however for the blog it will be a likely gap in content again...Sorry!, Saturday I've got a party with my girlfriends Mom's friends who are awesome haha You might ask, why and how did you end up being invited to a party with your girlfriend and her Mom and her friends? Well it started months back, the first party they had, they had invited my girlfriend but she didn't want to go alone thinking that 'it would be really boring' cause she didn't know the people and well who thinks that their mothers friends are going to be awesome?
So I got dragged along to this first one and well it was a blast! the people were cool, relaxed and generally it was really fun.Now her Mom's friend is having another party so we are invited again! :D so we are going on Saturday which will be awesome, however we might not be able to stay as late as last time (like 1am then an hour walk home from my girlfriends house haha) cause on Sunday me, my family and my girlfriend are going to Skegness! (for those out the UK which is most of you, its basically the beach xD) and are leaving in the morning so want to be able to get up on Sunday required Saturday not being too late, I'm thinking around 12 to finish get home for 1AM then sleep for 6 hours :)

As you can tell I've got a busy weekend, I can't wait its gunna be awesome :D

Might get some pictures from Skegness so if there are any good ones I'll post them here but unfortunately the weather is likely to be quite dull, typical British summer.

Unfortunately I am unable to show you what I have been working on as it is no where near finished and I don't want to post any pictures of it until it is complete, so you will probably have to wait until next week of that!
Anyway if you read last weeks Minecraft Monday you will know that I said I would talk a little about Notch, So here's a small bit about the guy behind the whole of Minecraft!

From Wiki: Markus Alexej Persson (commonly known as "Notch") is a SwedishC++, ActionScript, and Java programmer, and is also the founder of Mojang AB. He is currently developing the video game Minecraft.

Notch or Markus whatever you want to call him worked for many different game companies including the website king.com making small flash games for them, to be honest it seems like he was destined to create video games after making a text based adventure game at age 8 and wow has he developed an amazing game of his own for himself! He left king.com to create Minecraft and I don't believe he expected the game to be anywhere near as popular as it is right know and it is probable that he never expected to make more than a few thousand from the game in the end!
For more information on Notch try these sites!http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Notchhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markus_Persson

Now what else did I say I would talk about....Crafting....well it's so important I think I will dedicate a whole post to it so that shall be left till next time I think everyone :)

Currently Minecraft has very little in a way of 'things to do' by this I mean it is open or sandbox where you can do what you want and there is also the little achievement feature which can help guide new players in things to do, but with Notch announcing 'Adventure Mode' to be a major patch in the future it is almost certain that the game will develop even more! currently many people make 'Adventure Maps' where others can play the story that they have created within the Minecraft world following the different notes and tasks to make the game a lot of fun, I think Notch saw these and thought that it would be a great addition to Minecraft and make people enjoy the game even more!

There are lots of places that you can find these adventure maps, if you want to try some just google it! there's plenty of them around to try and test out :) maybe I will try some out and do reviews on them in the future.

All For Now
